平等的东方主义，文化恢复和对资本主义的批评，太极拳反对无形敌人利用占领公共空间来解构资本主义的地理逻辑。 换句话说，练习太极拳，同时抗拒高档化。

In partnership with the Center for Art and Social Engagement at the University of Houston's McGovern College of the Arts, Project Row Houses has created a fellowship program that invites artists and cultural practitioners to the Third Ward to work alongside urban planners, educators and policy makers. The fellows will engage in creative collaborations that involve the Third Ward community and address issues important to them.
